-Subject: [PATCH] Fix build with musl libc
-MIME-Version: 1.0
-Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
-Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

-musl libc defines its own struct ethhdr that conflicts with the kernel
-define one. The kernel headers provide a way to suppress its struct
-ethhdr. For that to work the libc headers must precede the kernel. Move
-the kernel linux/if_tun.h include below libc net/ethernet.h. That fixes
-the following build failure:
